Factorio

A factory-building game where you start mining by hand on an alien planet and end up running enormous automated production lines. Logistics, trains and circuit networks keep adding new layers, while the planet's wildlife attacks your pollution. The Space Age expansion takes the factory to other planets. Is it your kind of game?
